Pulp Science Fiction

What is Pulp Science Fiction?

Pulp Science Fiction is a term that describes a period of publishing in the 1930s-1950s when science fiction magazines were published on cheap paper. These publications had a distinct style with colourful cover art, brutish monsters, space heroes, and the scantily-clad damsel in distress. The stories in these publications emphasize action, adventure, and plot at the expense of character and literary elements.

You might think of these as the fiction version of those cheesy science fiction B movies of the 50's.

By Charles Durning. A legendary Pulp magazine that was the first to exclusively publish Sci Fi. In addition, many writers (H.P. Lovecraft, Orson Wells) who become famous had their first stories published in this magazine.
